THAT SEAFORTH ADDUCTION.—E,
Messett, of Seaforth, accused of ad-
ducting Catherine Kennedy, aged
12, of the same town, was up for
trial before Judge Toms, Saturday.
Messett is about 76 years of age.
His counsel placed the defence
vary strongly, and his honor allow-
ed the prisoner to go on suspended
sentence. The evidence of the girl
although not broken down, was
weakened by that of other witnesses,
who testified not only to her unre•
liability, but the previous good
character of the accused.

OMENS or WAR.—It is said that a
great majority of the births this
year are male children. Those who
have studied the matter say this
forebodes war, as the exceptionally
large male birth rate is in accord
with the laws of supply and de-
mand. If war's dread alarum will
keep quiet until these young gentle-
men are old enough to go to the
front, the price of wheat will not be
materially affected this year.

GILDEROY'S KiTE. •
THE ORIGIN OF THE OLD BUT POPULAR ET-
PRE851ON.
7'o the Editor : \Vill you kindly
give the source of the phrase "Higher
than Gilderoy's kite ?" My recollec-
tion is that it is contained in a humor
one poem of a past generation. A
friend suggests '•Gil ..Blas." So far
we have been unable to locate the
story of the kite.—J. W. P.
Gilderoy, not Gilroy, was the
Robin Hood of Scottish minstrelsy.
The name "Gilderoy," or more
popularly "Gilleroy," means in the
Gaelic "red-haired lad," The true
name of the character was Patrick,
of the proscribed clan of Gregor.
This noted free-booter infested the
highlands of Perthshire, Scotland,
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. \With an attendant band
of ruffian& he committed most
atrocious acts of cruelty, living by
plundering the country. Like
many other robbers, Gilderoy re-
tained much favor by pretending to
rob only the rich and by scattering*
portion of his ill-gotten plunder
among the poor. Finally a reward
of £1,600 was offeree for the ap-
prehension of the bandit.
He was at last captured with five
comrades and taken to Edinburgh,
where ho was hanged in April,
1638. The chief was given the
distinction of being hanged much
higher than his companions. So
life Prole—Y6ie'te °liTeelfelet deeor
knocked "higher than Gilderoy."
The word kite was added to in-

tensify the phrase, but had no
especial meaning. The ballad of
"Gilderoy," which served for many
years to keep the story of the free-
booter in popular reme sbrance, was
written by ayoung woman of good
birth and flue talents, who was so
infatuated with the young robber
that she ran away from her home t0_
live with him some time before he
met his fate. The last stanza of the
ballad was as follows :
Of Gilderoy sae fraid they were
They bound him mickle strong ;
Tull Edenborrow, they lead him
there,
And on a gallows hung.
They bung him high aboon the
rest, .
He was sae trim a boy,
Their dyed the youth whom I
lued best,
. My handsome Gilderoy!

—News has been received of a
most heinous outrage committed on
the person of a young lady school
teacher near Acadia, Lousiaua.
The school was three miles from the
young lady's home, and the other
Jay after school was diainissed, she
started to walk home. In a lonely
place she was set upon by a horsy
negro, who dragged her into the
woods and tied her to a tree, and
she was kept there for two days.
A searching party found her there
on the evening of the second day.
Site told them her story, with the
request to hide near by, as the
negro would soon return. This
they did, and in a short time the
negro appeared and was captured,
He was fearfully tortured, being
skinned alive and literally cut to
pieces, The body was left in the
woods for the buzzards.
The Right Reverend Bishop
Laldwin, of Huron, is in New
Brunswick, and the St. Andrew's
Beacon thus refers to him : "He
preached a powerful and edifying
sermon in All Saint's Church, on
Sunday morning last being the third
he delivered to large and attentive
congregations. A summary of his
eloquent effort, or even in e.rtexs°,
would fail to do justice to his ad-
mirable exposition of the text (II.
Tim. ii , 19), delivered as it was
without notes, and in flowing, cl essi-
cal diction, seldom equalled.
There was none of the conventional
drawl or the peculiar pronuncia-
tion used by High Church divines,
but a graceful and smooth express
ion which went home to the hearts
of hearers, calculated to bring forth
"fruit meet for repentance." His
reel, earnestness and piety, appar-
ent even to nominal Christains,
evincing an intimate acquaintance
with Holy Scripture and with an
ability .o render it easy to the com-
monest understanding, Truly he is
a faithful shepherd,
